If you’re a movie lover who wants to get the ultimate home theater experience, then built-in speakers, or even a soundbar, just won’t cut it. Instead, you should get a Denon AV Receiver.
Packed with high-end technology, Denon provides a range of AV receivers for every movie fan and budget, taking your home theater to the next level.
As any film fan knows, a great TV is only one part of a killer home theater setup. For incredible immersion, you’ll also want a sound system that puts you right in the middle of the action - and that’s where Denon AV Receivers come in.
Immersive surround sound
To get the ultimate home theater experience, you’ll want a powerful sound system that can keep up with the visuals, and thanks to 3D sound formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, films and TV shows have never sounded better.
With a Denon AV Receiver, not only can you have a traditional surround sound setup, where audio comes from the front, sides and rear of where you sit, but you can also add height speakers, so the sound completely envelopes you from every direction, allowing you to feel completely immersed in the action, no matter what your watching - from movies, TV shows sports and video games.
You’ll also want the audio to be crystal clear - and with Denon you’re getting guaranteed audio and build quality. Denon is a renowned name in AV receivers, and has been releasing industry-leading products for decades. Each generation of Denon AV receiver comes with cutting-edge technology to help you get the very best audio quality - and they’re built to last by people who care as much about sound quality and immersive entertainment as you do.
Professional calibration without the professionals
To really get the most out of your home cinema setup, you’ll want to make sure that your audio system is calibrated to suit the room you’re in. Rather than calling out an expert to tweak your system, or spend ages fiddling around yourself, Denon AV receivers can calibrate themselves thanks to the powerful Audyssey feature that comes built-in.
All you need to do is plug in the supplied microphone, place it where you want to sit, and the Denon AV receiver will do the rest, ensuring that the levels of each speaker is finely tuned for the best possible sound quality.
No matter what size or shape the room is, in a matter of minutes you’ll have a perfectly calibrated system that will make your movies and TV shows sound better than ever.
And, if you want to go even further, many of Denon’s high-end AV receivers have the option of DIRAC LIVE room correction technology, which helps you fine tune your setup.
Thanks to Denon’s desire to make its products easy to set up and use for everyone, installing a Denon AV receiver is incredibly straightforward, with the Denon Setup Assistant offering you step-by-step instructions to help you get everything set up and running in minutes.
Picture perfect
Denon AV receivers can make any video look its very best, no matter if you’re playing a Blu-ray or 4K Blu-ray, or streaming 4K content from the likes of Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Netflix, with advanced video processing picking out every nuance and detail, and support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) that gives rich and vibrant images.
With up to 7 HDMI inputs, the latest-generation Denon AV receivers allow you to plug in pretty much any source, including Blu-ray players, TV set top boxes and games consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, and you also get HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision support as well.
Gaming is particularly impressive, with 4K support and high refresh rates that ensures gameplay is smooth and reactive (and looks great as well).
Unleash your music
Denon AV receivers don’t just transform your movie-watching experience, but they can revolutionise the way you listen to music as well. You can plug in a CD, DVD, Blu-ray player or even a vinyl turntable to play your favourite tunes, and you’ll be blown away by the audio quality.
You can also stream digital music from services such as Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer and Spotify, as well as your own local digital library. You can also stream directly from your smartphone as well thanks to Apple Airplay 2 and Bluetooth connectivity.
